Refuse-derived plastic from waste expanded polystyrene and used deep-fried oil

A refuse-derived plastic was produced by mixing waste Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) in solution with used deep-fried oil (UDFO). A measured amount of methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKPO) was added as a reaction initiator and cobalt-naphthenate as a promoter. Investigation of solubility test of EPS in M...
